Preference for the northern (N) ring conformation of the ribose moiety of adenine nucleotide 3′,5′-bisphosphate antagonists of P2Y1 receptors was established by using a ring-constrained methanocarba (a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane) ring as a ribose substitute (Nandanan et al. J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 829-842). We have now combined the ring-constrained (N)-methanocarba modification with other functionalities at the 2-position of the adenine moiety. A new synthetic route to this series of bisphosphate derivatives was introduced, consisting of phosphorylation of the pseudoribose moiety prior to coupling with the adenine base. The activity of the newly synthesized analogues was determined by measuring antagonism of 2-methylthio-ADPstimulated phospholipase C (PLC) activity in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells expressing the recombinant human P2Y1 receptor and by using the radiolabeled antagonist [3H]2-chloro-N6methyl-(N)-methanocarba-2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate 5 in a newly developed binding assay in Sf9 cell membranes. Within the series of 2-halo analogues, the most potent molecule at the hP2Y1 receptor was an (N)-methanocarba N6-methyl-2-iodo analogue 12, which displayed a Ki value in competition for binding of [3H]5 of 0.79 nM and a KB value of 1.74 nM for inhibition of PLC. Thus, 12 is the most potent antagonist selective for the P2Y1 receptor yet reported. The 2-iodo group was substituted with trimethyltin, thus providing a parallel synthetic route for the introduction of an iodo group in this high-affinity antagonist. The (N)-methanocarba2-methylthio, 2-methylseleno, 2-hexyl, 2-(1-hexenyl), and 2-(1-hexynyl) analogues bound less well, exhibiting micromolar affinity at P2Y1 receptors. An enzymatic method of synthesis of the 3′,5′-bisphosphate from the corresponding 3′-monophosphate, suitable for the preparation of a radiophosphorylated analogue, was explored. Introduction Two families of P2 nucleotide receptors exist: G protein-coupled P2Y receptors, of which eight mammalian subtypes (P2Y1,2,4,6,11-14) are currently sequencedefined, and P2X ligand-gated cation channels, of which seven mammalian subtypes (P2X1-7) have been cloned.1-4 Adenine nucleotides are required for activation of the P2Y1, P2Y11, P2Y12, and P2Y13 subtypes, and uracil nucleotides activate P2Y2, P2Y4, and P2Y6, subtypes. The P2Y2 receptor is equipotently activated by UTP and ATP. The most recently identified subtypes are the P2Y13 receptor, which is present in the immune system,5 and the P2Y14 receptor, which is activated by UDPglucose.6 There is evidence that multiple P2Y receptors may be involved in the activation of eosinophils and neutrophils.7 * Corresponding author.

The P2Y1 receptor is distributed in the heart, skeletal, and various smooth muscles and the prostate, ovary, brain, and circulating blood cells.8 This receptor was first cloned from chick brain;9 its regional brain distribution and presence in glial cells have been described,10-12 and abnormalities in P2Y1 receptor levels may exist in the brains of persons with Alzheimer’s disease.13 Activation of this receptor by ADP mediates relaxation in the guinea pig aorta.14 The P2Y1 receptor plays a major physiological role in platelet aggregation.15 P2Y receptor ligands are being explored for therapeutic applications in the cardiovascular, endocrine, and other systems. The P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors are the furthest advanced in the P2Y family with respect to selective agonists and antagonists.16-26 3′,5′-Bisphosphate nucleotides have been developed as selective antagonists of the P2Y1 receptor, and high receptor affinities have been achieved in this series.20 The 2′deoxyribose moiety of widely used P2Y1 receptor antagonists such as N6-methyl-2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′bisphosphate 1 may be replaced with carbocyclics, smaller and larger rings, acyclics, and conformationally constrained rings,17-19 resulting in retention or enhance-

ment of affinity for the receptor. A 2-chloro group was found to enhance potency and selectivity in the case of nucleotide 2 and the acyclic bisphosphate analogue 3.19,27 An acyclic bisphosphonate analogue 4 was also shown to be a P2Y1 receptor antagonist.19

The affinities were determined by using [3H]5 in a radioligand binding assay, as recently described.31 The human P2Y1 receptor was expressed to high levels in Sf9 insect cells with a recombinant baculovirus. Membranes prepared from these cells were incubated for 30 min at 4 °C in the presence of ∼20 nM [3H]5. b Antagonist IC50 values (mean ( standard error) represent the concentration needed to inhibit by 50% the effect elicited by 30 nM 2-MeSADP.

R and R′ are defined in Scheme 1.

The most recently introduced P2Y1 receptor antagonists contain novel substitutions of the ribose moiety or of the adenine ring system. In solution, the conformation of the ribose ring of nucleosides and nucleotides exists in a rapid, dynamic two-state equilibrium between a (N) (northern, 2′-exo) or (S) (southern, 2′-endo) conformation, although their target receptors probably prefer specific conformations. We have replaced the ribose moiety for P2Y1 antagonists with a carbocyclic ring locked in a preferred conformation, a fusion of cyclopropane and cyclopentane rings known as the methanocarba modification.28-30 Two structural variations, depending on the position of the cyclopropane ring, restrict the ring pucker, i.e., hold the riboselike ring (pseudosugar) in either a (N)- or (S)-envelope conformation, as defined in the pseudorotational cycle. A prototypical ring-constrained P2Y1 antagonist is the highly potent (N)-methanocarba derivative 2-chloro-N6methyl-(N)-methanocarba-2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′-bisphosphate 5.18,20 This molecule was also prepared in [3H]-labeled form and provides the first broadly reliable high-affinity antagonist for quantitation of a P2Y receptor in a radioligand binding assay.31 The recently reported C-nucleoside pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine bisphosphate 6 is also a potent P2Y1 antagonist.25 In the present study, we combined the ring-constrained (N)-methanocarba modification of adenine nucleotides with other adenine 2-position functionalities to prepare novel analogues, which were evaluated for affinity at the human P2Y1 receptor. In one case, a 2-iodo substitution conferred a significant increase in antagonist potency. New synthetic routes to antagonists in this series, including methods for introduction of phosphate groups as either the terminal step or prior to the coupling of sugar and nucleobase, were explored.

The 2-iodo substituent could also be introduced at various stages of the synthesis. Results Chemical Synthesis. We prepared methanocarbocyclic analogues of various bisphosphate derivatives (Table 1) in which fused cyclopropane and cyclopentane rings were fixed the pseudoribose moiety in a rigid (N)envelope conformation. Synthetic intermediates included O-benzyl-protected phosphoesters, carbocyclic derivatives, adenine derivatives, and O-tert-butylprotected phosphoesters (Schemes 1-5). The nucleotide analogues 7-18 were prepared in the ammonium salt form according to the methods shown in Schemes 1 and 4 and tested biologically as antagonists at the P2Y1 receptor (Table 1). Identity was confirmed by NMR (1H and 31P) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and purity was demonstrated with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in two different solvent systems. To construct the pseudoribose ring leading to the 2′deoxy-(N)-methanocarba-2′-deoxyadenosine precursors, a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane intermediate 19 was prepared by the new, optimized approach of Yoshimura et al.,32 which used simple starting materials and enzymatic transformations. Scheme 1 illustrates the usual synthetic route to the bisphosphate derivatives, in which the phosphorylation was carried out on the preformed nucleoside precursor. To prepare that nucleoside, a commercially available 2-substituted adenine intermediate, 6-chloro-2-aminopurine 20, was condensed with the protected bicyclohexane derivative 19 via a Mitsunobu reaction to give 21, which was then deprotected to give diol 22. The 3′- and 5′-hydroxyl groups then were phosphorylated by the phosphoramidite method33 using

dibenzyl diisopropyl phosphoramidite 23 to give the benzyl-protected derivative 24. The 2-amino group of 24 was replaced with an iodo, methylthio, or methylseleno group (protected intermediates 25-27) with the use of a neutral purinyl radical, which was generated transiently from the thermal homolysis of the 2-diazonium intermediate. This was accomplished by using the approach introduced by Nair and Fasbender34 for the preparation of 2-methylthio and other 2-derivatives of adenosine. Selenium was selected for inclusion because of its similarity to sulfur and because of its known use in X-ray crystallography of proteins, when incorporated

into ligands as a heavy atom.35 To introduce an amino or methylamino group at the 6-position, it was necessary to substitute 6-Cl with the corresponding amine, which could be accomplished either before (to give 13) or following (to give 7, 8, 12, or 14) deprotection of the phosphate groups. First we synthesized the N6-methyl2-methylthio derivative 13, following the procedure in Scheme 1. However, we were unable to apply this route for the corresponding N6-amino derivative 8 because treatment of 26 with ammonia to replace the 6-chloro group caused side reactions. Therefore, we carried out an ammonia replacement reaction following deprotec-

tion of the benzyl groups to obtain the N6-amino derivative 8. We used similar procedures of phosphoester deprotection followed by replacement of the 6-chloro group for the preparation of the 2-methylseleno derivative 14. As an alternate synthetic route to the bisphosphate derivatives, phosphate groups were introduced into a versatile phosporylated bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane precursor 34, protected with tert-butyl ester groups, prior to the Mitsunobu coupling (Scheme 2). We first attempted to synthesize 2-fluoro 10 and 2-bromo 11 derivatives by the approach shown in Scheme 1, which used the phosphoramidite route to phosphorylate the corresponding nucleoside diol derivative.18 However, only traces of the products were obtained due to side reactions, which seemed to result from the high nucleophilicity of the 6-amino group. Thus, an alternate route was needed. For substitution of the 2-position of the purine ring with bromo or fluoro, the corresponding adenine precursors 37 and 38 were prepared (Scheme 3). We used 20, a commercially available material, to prepare the dihaloadenines 35 and 36 by a method from the literature.36 Subsequent methylamination of the 6-position gave 37 and 38, which were coupled with the methanocarba moiety 34 by a Mitsunobu reaction. 2-Iodo-N6-methyladenine 39 was prepared with the method of Nair and Fasbender.34 The two 2-alkene/alkyne-substitituted adenines 41 and 42 were prepared as previously reported.37 These 2-haloadenine derivatives and several 2-C-substituted analogues were incorporated into the nucleoside structure as shown in Scheme 4, via the protected bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane precursor 34. Following the Mitsunobu reaction, the hexynyl intermediate 50 was reduced to the corresponding alkane to give 48. Deprotection of the tertbutyl groups was carried out with TFA to give the bisphosphate derivatives 10-12 and 15-18.

The preparation of additional 2-substituted adenine intermediates, including 6-chloro-2-iodopurine 43 used in Scheme 4, required a separate synthetic strategy

(Scheme 5). The adenine precursor 20 dissolved in polar organic solvents, e.g. pyridine or DMSO, only to a limited extent, which made the selection of transformation conditions difficult. To proceed further, we applied a protecting group at the N-9 position, expecting an improvement in solubility. The pivaloyloxymethyl group was chosen as the protecting group, and 54 was prepared with the method of Rasmussen and Leonard.41 Compound 54 dissolved well in the usual organic solvents, allowing the 2-iodination of 54 to be performed by the method of Nair and Fasbender.34 With the success of [3H]5 as a selective radioligand for P2Y1 receptor characterization,31 we sought to design new antagonists in this series as high-affinity receptor probes. As a route to a novel iodinated analogue that could be potentially radiolabeled, we explored the substitution of the iodo group of 12 (Scheme 4) and its adenine precursors (Scheme 5) with trimethyltin.38,39 This provides a means of rapidly obtaining the iodinated ligand 12. Similar methodology based on trialkyl tin precursors has been used to prepare radioiodinated ligands for SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography).39,40 The 2-iodo product 55 was converted to the 2-trimethylstannyl derivative 56 by the method of Baranowska-Kortylewicz et al.42 Compound 56 was a useful intermediate because it could serve as a suitable substrate for Stille coupling; thus, we decided to prepare the 2-methyl derivative. Compound 56 reacted with methyl iodide under the conditions of Suzuki et al.43 The product 57 was treated with methylamine to make 40, which was coupled with the methanocarba moiety by a Mitsunobu reaction. Deprotection was carried out with TFA to give the bisphosphate derivative 15. As an alternate route to introduce iodine in the antagonist 12, we also attempted stannylation of 46 with the method of Baranowska-Kortylewicz et al., to be followed by reiodination.42 However, we obtained only the 2-H derivative, which formed upon replacement of the trimethylstannyl group by hydrogen, which was readily available from an acidic proton such as the 6-NH(Me). As an alternative (Scheme 4), we tried stannylation using a 6-chloro derivative 51. This intermediate was synthesized from 43, which was obtained by hydrolysis of 55, and was coupled with the methanocarba moiety by a Mitsunobu reaction. Intermediate 51 was successfully stannylated with the method of Baranowska-Kortylewicz et al.42 The trimethyl stannyl derivative 52 reacted with iodine (which could be generated rapidly from iodide) and re-formed 51. By mass spectral analysis of the iodination reaction at various time points (1-40 min), an optimal reaction time was determined to be 10 min. Deprotection of 51 on a small scale with TFA was accomplished to give the bisphosphate derivative 29, which was then converted to the antagonist 12 (Scheme 1). We have explored a synthetic methodology that would allow a phosphate group to be incorporated in a potent P2Y1 receptor antagonist in the final synthetic step. Although chemical phosphorylation methods were used until now to prepare P2Y1 receptor antagonists in this series, we devised an enzymatic method for the phosphorylation at the 5′-position, leading to compound 5. This method (Scheme 6) is based on phosphorylation

The data are presented as percent of total radioligand binding measured in the presence of the indicated concentrations of 2-chloro (5), 2-fluoro (10), 2-bromo (11), 2-iodo (12), and 2-methylthio (13) N6-methyl substituted analogues.

with polynucleotide kinase (EC 2.7.1.78).44 The 3′monophosphorylated intermediate 5845 was treated with the enzyme and ATP as the phosphate source. Following incubation for 60 min, the product 5 was detected in ∼40% yield, as judged by using HPLC. The intermediate 58 was found to be chemically stable under the incubation conditions. A side reaction, removal of the 3′phosphate group of 58 to yield the nucleoside analogue 59, occurred to a significant degree only in the absence of ATP. Pharmacological Activity. We recently developed [3H]5 as a high-affinity and selective radioligand for quantification of the P2Y1 receptor.31 Therefore, the human P2Y1 receptor can be expressed from a baculovirus to high levels in Sf9 insect cells, and membranes prepared from these cells can be labeled specifically with [3H]5 to directly assess the affinity of newly synthesized molecules at the P2Y1 receptor. Therefore, human P2Y1 receptor-expressing membranes were incubated with 10 nM [3H]5 and a wide range of concentrations of 2-substituted (N)-methanocarba bisphosphate analogues. As illustrated in Figure 1, all of the bisphosphate derivatives tested interacted with the P2Y1 receptor, as shown by their capacity to inhibit [3H]5 binding, and this


inhibition occurred with kinetics consistent with interaction by the law of mass action kinetics at a single site. IC50 values were determined (Table 1) from each competition curve, and a Ki value was calculated for each analogue according to the relationship Ki ) IC50/1 + [[3H]5]/Kd of [3H]5. We also tested the functional activities of (N)-methanocarba bisphosphate analogues as agonists and antagonists at the human P2Y1 receptor stably expressed in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells (Table 1). Agonist activity was tested by measuring the capacity of molecules to increase inositol phosphate accumulation by activating the phospholipase C-coupled P2Y1 receptor, and antagonist activity at the P2Y1 receptor was assessed by measuring the capacity of these molecules to inhibit 2-methylthio-adenosine 5′-diphosphate (2MeSADP)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates. None of these 2-substituted molecules exhibited agonist activity in the 1321N1 cell-test system, but all displayed a capacity to inhibit 2MeSADP-stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation, with an IC50 value consistent with their Ki values determined in binding experiments. Within the series of 2-halo analogues, the most potent antagonist in both functional and binding models was a (N)-methanocarba-2-iodo analogue 12, and all other 2-halo derivatives were clearly less potent. This derivative displayed a Ki value in competition for binding of [3H]5 at the hP2Y1 receptor of 0.79 nM. The N6-methyl derivative 12 was 16-fold more potent in binding than the corresponding 6-amino analogue 7. The corresponding N6-methyl 2-bromo and 2-chloro derivatives 11 and 5 exhibited similar Ki values and affinities that were 5-10-fold less than that for 12, and the fluoro derivative 10 exhibited a much lower affinity (Figure 1). The (N)-methanocarba-2-methylthio-, 2-methylseleno, 2-hexyl, 2-(1-hexenyl), and 2-(1-hexynyl) analogues exhibited lower affinities than did most of the 2-halo derivatives, with Ki values in the micromolar range observed for these compounds at P2Y1 receptors. No significant difference was observed between the alkene and alkyne derivatives 17 and 18, whereas the corresponding alkane 16 exhibited a 4-5-fold-lower affinity, with a Ki value in binding calculated to be 80 nM. However, the 2-methyl derivative 15 was nearly as potent as the corresponding 2-chloro analogue 5. Schild analysis of antagonism by 12 of inositol phosphate accumulation in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells stably expressing the human P2Y1 receptor, stimulated by 2-MeS-ADP, was carried out (Figure 2). A KB value of 1.74 nM was determined, in close agreement with binding data for this compound. A correlation of binding affinities (expressed as Ki values) and functional antagonistic potencies (expressed as IC50 values) at the human P2Y1 receptor was examined for nine compounds (Figure 3). The degree of correlation was high, with an r2 value of 0.98. Thus, as we showed recently in radioligand binding assays with [3H]5 and previously studied bisphosphate analogues,31 the radioligand binding assay is a readily applicable predictor of the functional effects of the P2Y1 receptor antagonists. Discussion In previous studies,18,20 we concluded that substitution of the ribose moiety with the (N)-methanocarba ring

system provides an enhancement of affinity at the P2Y1 receptor. We strengthened this conclusion in the present study. For example, the compounds homologous to 8, 12, and 13 were reported in the ribose series,17 and the IC50 values in the same phospholipase C assay in turkey erythrocytes expressing an endogenous P2Y1 receptor were 1890, 891, and 362 µM, respectively. This is to be compared to the values for 8, 12, and 13 of 367, 8.4, and 221 nM, respectively. Thus, the enhancement achieved upon conformationally constraining the riboselike ring in the preferred (N)-conformation was present in all three cases. However, the degree of enhancement

ranged from slight, in the case of the N6-methyl-2methylthio analogue 13, to dramatic, i.e., 106-fold, in the case of the N6-methyl-2-iodo analogue 12. In the present study, we focused on optimization of the 2-position substitution. Halo substitution demonstrated a potency order of I > Br, Cl > F, which did not correspond to the relative effects of these substitutions in the ribose series.17 The 2-alkylthio substitution, which was found to greatly enhance potency in the agonist series, i.e., 5′-mono-, di-, and triphosphates,21-23 did not enhance antagonist potency in the present series. This observation is similar to previous findings with other nucleotide antagonists of the P2Y1 receptor.17 In contrast with C-substitution at the 2-position of adenine reported previously24 (i.e., 2-methyl in the ribose series), we did not find an enhancement of affinity in the alkene and alkyne analogues synthesized here. The methods explored in this study for incorporation of iodo and phosphate groups from simple chemical precursors might be suitable for the preparation of radioligands (containing 125I, 33P, etc.) of high affinity for the P2Y1 receptor. In conclusion, we have enhanced the potency of ringconstrained P2Y1 receptor antagonists by 2-position substitution. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) patterns were not entirely in parallel to the SAR observed in the ribose series. Thus, subtle differences in the mode of receptor binding probably occur between ribose-containing and (N)-methanocarba nucleotides. A key finding in this study is that compound 12 is the most potent antagonist selective for the P2Y1 receptor yet reported. These findings promise to be useful in defining the microscopic determinants of the binding sites on these receptors and in designing novel pharmacological probes, including radioligands, and/or therapeutic agents.

Small-Scale Conversion of Compound 52 into Compound 12. A 20 µL (0.35 µmol) portion of an iodine solution (4.5 mg of I2 in 1.00 mL of AcOEt) was added to a solution of 52 (0.15 mg, 0.18 µmol) in AcOEt (0.100 mL) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Then 0.01 mL of 5% aqueous NaHSO3 was added to stop the reaction, and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue (crude 29) was dissolved in 5% TFA/CH2Cl2 (0.50 mL) and stirred for 3 h at 25 °C. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was quenched by addition of 5.0 mL of triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer (1.0 M). The mixture was subsequently frozen and lyophilized. The residue (crude

29) was dissolved in 40% MeNH2 in water (0.50 mL) and stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue (crude 12) was purified by HPLC (system A or system B). Enzymatic Synthesis of 5. ATP (20 nmol, 2 µL of a 10mM solution in water) and polynucleotide kinase (Sigma, 10 IU) were added to 20 µL of a buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM spermidine, and 0.1 mM EDTA. The nucleotide substrate 5841 (1 µL of a 10-mM solution in water) was then added, and the mixture was mixed with vortexing and incubated at 37 °C for the time indicated (18 h incubation was found to be optimal). Aliquots (10 µL) were injected for HPLC analysis. A C18 Zorbax column (Agilent) was used, with the flow rate 1 mL/min and the mobile phase consisting of a gradient of acetonitrile/0.1 M triethylammonium acetate (aq) of 10/90 to 15/85 in 10 min, then to 30/70 in 10 min. The product of the enzymatic transformation (5) was detected in ∼40% yield, as judged with HPLC. The retention time of the product was 6.2 min, compared with the starting material, which had a retention time of 8.1 min. These three individual peaks were collected and lyophilized. Mass spectrometry (FAB) confirmed the identity of the starting material (m/z 387, M - 1) and product 5 (m/z 468, M - 1). The side product at retention time 11.6 min displayed an m/z of 310, consistent with the corresponding nucleoside (M + 1). An unidentified impurity present in the starting material was also detected at 7.7 min. Compound 58 was found to be chemically stable. The HPLC profile of a solution in H2O/acetonitrile/buffer was unchanged following 60 h incubation at 37 °C. However, when enzyme was added in the absence of ATP, ∼20% of the compound was dephosphorylated during an incubation of 17 h to the nucleoside 59 (HPLC retention time ) 11.6 min). Under the same incubation conditions in the presence of the enzyme, 5 was stable. Pharmacological Analyses. The affinities of 2-substituted (N)-methanocarbo bisphosphate analogues for the human P2Y1 receptor were directly determined by using [3H]5 in a radioligand binding assay, as we recently described in detail.31 Briefly, the human P2Y1 receptor was expressed to high levels in Sf9 insect cells with a recombinant baculovirus. Membranes prepared from these cells were incubated for 30 min at 4 °C in the presence of ∼20 nM [3H]5 and a wide range of concentrations of the newly synthesized analogues. Binding reactions were terminated by the addition of ice-cold tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) wash buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, and 145 mM NaCl) to the samples followed by rapid filtration over GF/A glass-fiber filters. Each filter was washed with an additional 4 mL of wash buffer, and radioactivity retained by the filters was quantified by liquid scintillation spectrometry. All assays were carried out in triplicate, and competition curves for all molecules were generated in three separate experiments. IC50 values were determined from each competition curve, and a Ki value was calculated for each analogue according to the relationship Ki ) IC50/1 + [[3H]5]/Kd of [3H]5, where the Kd of [3H]5 determined in separate experiments was 8 nM. P2Y receptor-promoted stimulation of inositol phosphate formation was measured at human P2Y1 receptors stably expressed in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells as previously described.19,42,43 The K0.5 values were averaged from three to eight independently determined concentration-effect curves for each compound. Briefly, cells plated in 24-well dishes were labeled in inositol-free medium (DMEM; Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD) containing 1.0 µCi of 2-[3H]myo-inositol (20 Ci/mmol; American Radiolabeled Chemicals, Inc., St. Louis, MO) for 1824 h in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air/5% CO2 at 37 °C. Phospholipase C activity was measured the following day by quantitating [3H]inositol phosphate accumulation after a 10min incubation at 37 °C in the presence of 10 mM LiCl. Total [3H]inositol phosphates were quantified by anion-exchange chromatography as previously described.42,43 Data Analysis. IC50 values obtained in radioligand binding assays and in assays of inhibition of 2MeSADP-stimulated

inositol phosphate accumulation were calculated by a fourparameter logistic equation and the GraphPad software package (GraphPad, San Diego, CA). All concentration-effect curves were repeated in at least three separate experiments, carried out in duplicate or triplicate with different membrane preparations or different 1321N1 cell cultures.
